MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment which is performed using sterile, ultra fine needles in order to cause careful, micro injury to the skin. By doing so, the body’s natural healing processes are activated to repair the micro damage and new collagen production is stimulated.
This innovative treatment works in 2 ways. First, because the treatment creates thousands of micro channels in the skin, topical serums will absorb up to 80% more compared to untreated skin. A hyaluronic acid serum is used during the treatment which will create a hydrated, glowing result immediately. Second, the microneedles disrupt the collagen fibers which stimulates new collagen to form and strengthens the new collagen fiber and connective tissue. Resulting in firmer, more even looking skin.
What Are The Benefits?
Microneedling is an effective and natural treatment that uses your own bodies healing processes to improve a variety of skin concerns like:
hyperpigmentation (dark spots due to sun damage)
Increases the density of the epidermis, which lessens the appearance of vessels and redness
acne scarring
wrinkles and fine lines
texture
enlarged pores
increases collagen which supports the connective tissue and creates firmer skin
hair loss
stretch marks
Comfort level: painless to moderate
topical anesthetic is used to provide a very comfortable experience for the client
Who should not have Microneedling?
Anyone who is currently on Accutane or has been on it for the last 3 months, anyone who is pregnant, anyone who has issues with healing, skin infections, active acne or open wounds.
How To Prepare For Your Appointment
Schedule any other cosmetic procedures like Botox, filler and peels at least 2 weeks prior to your microneedling appointment.
Discontinue use of any retinoids or exfoliating acids 1 week prior to your treatment
No Coffee/ caffeine, blood thinners, anti-inflammatories, or alcohol within the last 48 hours.
What To Expect After Your Appointment
The skin will appear slightly pink to red immediately post-procedure, similar to a mild to moderate sunburn. Additionally, the most common side effects felt in the treatment area include:
Dryness
Rough skin
Tightness
Redness
Itching
Peeling
Tenderness
Burning
These conditions resolve over time without any further complications.
Peeling and flaking are normal and indicate cellular turnover which is a sign of the treatment taking effect!
Swelling, bruising and prolonged redness are less common but still normal responses to Microneedling. Everyone heals differently so it is important to be patient with the process.
Although results begin to show immediately, you will also continue to see improvements over the coming weeks as the collagen production happens on a cellular level. It is recommended to adhere to a skincare routine which supports the health and appearance of your skin by keeping it well hydrated and balanced. Daily use of sunscreen with an SPF 60 is necessary to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and to maintain your results.
Microneedling can be performed every 4 to 6 weeks. Doing so wakes up dormant fibroblast cells and rebuilds the skin’s foundation. Once prolonged results are achieved, treatments may decrease to a few times a year.
Frequency: 4-6 week intervals
Typically a minimum of 3 – 6 treatments will be recommended and depending on the desired results, ongoing 4-6 week treatments may be required. Once desired results have been achieved, frequency may be decreased to several times a year to maintain results.
Treatment time: 1hour 15 mins $250/ session (sold in a series of 3)

MICRODERMABRASION
Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical procedure which gently resurfaces the skin. Microdermabrasion exfoliation is performed with a diamond tip which brushes the skin's surface with the aid of a gentle vacuum. This action removes dead and damaged cells at the skin's surface. By eliminating these surface cells with microdermabrasion, the skin is left soft and supple while forcing the regeneration of new skin cells. Microdermabrasion have been documented to effectively minimize the appearance of:
•Scars • Hyperpigmentation • Fine lines • Sun damaged skin • Blemishes • Dull and congested skin • Uneven skin tones and textural damaged skin • Enlarged pores
